We have had a lot of rain for the past couple of weeks. In front of our house, by the street, a frog laid some eggs. So we now have tadpoles by our curb. Christian really liked that, he liked watching them, and wanted to keep them. I told him no, of course. Instead we caught some and put them in a plastic container to watch them grow. As soon as they turn into frogs, we will let them go. It's a much safer way to let him watch his tadpoles grow! And he gets a little science education in the process. Got to love that!
When we came home from school yesterday, he noticed that the water was going away, so he asked me to add some water to them so they didn't die. He is such an animal lover. And, yes, we added water to our curb! LOL
The tadpoles are growing up so fast! If you look close you can see one of them to the left that has arms and legs (It's towards the bottom of the pic) The picture to the right has a little frog hanging on to the wall of the aquarium. There were about three of them that are ready to be released. They were all sitting on top of the rocks earlier but I couldn't get the camera to take good pics of them for some reason. The kids watched them for about thirty minutes today after school. We will be releasing the baby frogs in my neighbors pond tomorrow. I will let my oldest son help me take them over there. This is such a cool thing to do! I think I like watching them grow more than the kids. LOL
